Answer:

= 9.28 g CO₂

Explanation:

First write a balanced equation:

CH₄ + 2O₂ -> 2H₂O + CO₂

Convert the information to moles

7.50g CH₄ = 0.46875 mol CH₄

13.5g O₂ = 0.421875 mol O₂

Theoretical molar ratio CH₄:O₂ -> 1:2

Actual ratio is  0.46875 : 0.421875 ≈ 1:1

If all CH₄ is used up, there would need to be more O₂

So O₂ is the limiting reactant and we use this in our equation

Use molar ratio to find moles of CO₂

0.421875 mol O₂ * 1 mol CO₂/2 mol O₂=0.2109375 mol CO₂

Then convert to grams

0.2109375 mol CO₂ = 9.28114 g CO₂

round to 3 sig figs

= 9.28 g CO₂

Find the formula for the compound that contains 72.40% iron and 27.60% oxygen.
Vikki [24]
Oxygen = 16
Iron = 55.8
16 x 27.6% = 4.4 /4 = 1.1
55.8 x 72.4% = 40.4 /4 = 10.1
1 oxygen and 10 iron, so Fe10 O

If exactly 59.6 g of nitrogen gas is needed to inflate your air bag to the
Inga [223]

Answer:

We need 92.3 grams of sodium azide

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of nitrogen gas = 59.6 grams

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28.0 g/mol

Molar mass of sodium azide = 65.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2NaN3 → 2Na + 3N2

Step 3: Calculate moles nitrogen gas

Moles N2 = mass N2 / molar mass N2

Moles N2 = 59.6 grams/ 28.0 g/mol

Moles N2 = 2.13 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles NaN3

for 2 moles NaN3 we'll have 2 moles Na and 3  moles N2

For 2.13 moles N2 we need 2/3* 2.13 = 1.42 moles NaN3

Step 5: Calculate mass NaN3

Mass NaN3 = Moles NaN3 * molar mass NaN3

Mass NaN3 = 1.42 moles * 65.0 g/mol

Mass NaN3 = 92.3 grams

We need 92.3 grams of sodium azide

Which type of chemical bond involves the sharing of valence electrons between two atoms?
mr_godi [17]
Covalent bond is the type of bond which involves the sharing of valence electrons between two atoms. 
This bond usually arises from the equal attraction of the nuclei of the two atoms for the electrons shared.

Ionic bond, on the other hand, arises due to the transfer of electrons from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of the other.
